solar?! did you know you can use nuclear reactors & steam turbines in space :)

You can punch yourself in the crotch, doesn't mean anyone is going to.

I don't like using nuclear in space. Not self-sufficient enough!

but... but... solar is technically just long-range nuclear! the factory must grow! :)

This makes me remember how closely this stuff resembles microprocessor design.

Fun Fact: building CPUs, GPUs or whole Games in Factorio is possible https://youtu.be/0bAuP0gO5pc?feature=shared

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was an FPU or cache memory or something

Accumulators are useless in space.

Epic accumulators are energy dense enough to be useful, but overall I agree. By the time you're building a giant ship that sits in orbit around aquilo you're better off with nuclear power and using all of that solar/accumulator space for more factory

Not going to aquilo they're not. But this ship should have nuclear.

Yes, they are. I've been, without them.

You've been to aquilo with solar only, no nuclear or fusion?

I did that xD I made epic quality solar panels and accumulators to accomplish it. That ship is still going!
